I went to the article and read the to-and-fro and the comments. I feel like I just had a front row seat to a pig-wrestling contest. I saw a lot of muck, and read a lot of what I would call “light heat and sound”, but as for substance..forget it. However, I think that Marx is putting energy into the wrong activities by trying to out-snark a critic. He is descending to other people’s levels, allowing his behavior to be defined by them.

If Richard Marx wants to stay in the public eye years after his last successful recording by writing pugnacious responses to small-time bloggers, that’s his choice. But there are lots more people who deserve it.

A blog written in his characteristic style calling into question the manhood of the people who send other people’s sons to do their work as suicide bombers would be more interesting to a lot of us. Unless he’s too chickenshit.
